What is Chemotherapy Boosts Breast Cancer Metastasis about?

The study found that a chemotherapy drug makes blood vessel walls in the lungs leakier and stickier, allowing breast cancer cells to squeeze through and attach to blood vessels in the lungs of mice. This helps the cancer cells gain a foothold for metastasis in the lungs. The drug was found to increase an enzyme that changes properties of lung blood vessels, aiding cancer cell adhesion.
